At the risk of sounding all silly motivational, here we go. The moment you decide to do something for the better, start immediately. All waiting accomplishes is giving your brain time to doubt your goals or create excuses.

Want to start working on something? Start right now.

Don’t give yourself some arbitrary start date that’s in the future. I initially said to myself in November, “I’ll start going to the gym next year” as if “next year” was some magical time where I’d be more motivated. Later that day I chastised myself for waiting and decided to sign up.

I’m still not in shape or anything, but I do have a month and a half head start today than I would have had I waited.

Get at it! I have been going for a year now as a team effort with my girlfriend. We both have muscle definition without flexing and combined have lost over 100lbs. It is definitely a routine that settles in after awhile and doesn’t feel like a chore at this point.
